Mayor~

Eight years ago…

Two weeks before the day everything went wrong…

Caroline was just an assistant manager. At least, that’s what her title said. She didn’t care much for titles anyway. They were small, meaningless things compared to power — and she wanted power. All of it.

Getting rid of anyone who stood in her way came naturally. Sabotage? Easy. She’d done it before, quietly, efficiently. Her last target? The hotel manager. One slip-up, a scandal here and there, and he was gone. And just like that… she slid into his chair. Manager. Big deal.

But she wasn’t satisfied. Not even close. She wanted more than a title, more than a corner office. She wanted influence. Real influence. And soon, she’d get her chance.

Mrs. Lorraine West probably saw it too. Saw the hunger in Caroline’s eyes and decided she was perfect for what was coming.

It all started when Detroit West walked into the hotel. Caroline didn’t know who he was at first. She didn’t need to. Not even when he casually booked th

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    The Shocking Question

    Adele~“The West family is above the law. What would you do with the power given to you?”The question came sharp and clear, this time from somewhere in the middle of the second-generation table. A man, maybe in his forties, with the kind of confidence that oozed from people who’d never heard the word no, leaned forward expectantly. His tone wasn’t mocking, but it wasn’t kind either. It was testing. Measuring.My stomach tightened. Above the law. That phrase carried weight, the kind of weight that could drown you if you weren’t careful.I forced myself to exhale slowly, to think before I answered. But nothing tangible was coming to mind. The answers I had were both blades either slicing through the West family, or cutting through me, so my eyes drifted instinctively toward Mrs. Lorraine. She sat straight and regal in the head seat of the third row. Even as a daughter-in-law, who had no direct blood ties to the West, she was still leading fellow daughters and son-in-laws. Her face was

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Adele On Hot Seat

    Adele~A man who looked old enough to have invented fire leaned forward from the elders’ table, his cane resting against the wood. His voice rumbled low, like distant thunder.“Tell us, Adele Harrington… Before you became a Harrington, who were your people? What ‘blood’ ran in your veins?”I blinked. “Ford’s ‘blood’ ran in my veins. The kids at Tender Care orphanage were my people.”The hall was exceedingly quiet, making me antsy and wondering if I gave the wrong answer. Whatever. I wouldn't lie or fake understanding the old man's question beyond what it sounded like. I wasn't an aristocrat, so I wasn’t taught how to dissect questions like riddles in a philosophy class. My childhood was about surviving. The elder’s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on his cane. “So… you were an orphan.” He said it like the word itself was sour in his mouth.“Yes,” I said, lifting my chin. “I was an orphan who grew up and found her way here, standing in front of two hundred Wests without fainting. Wh

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    West Family Tradition (1)

    Adele~Apparently, the West family’s tradition is that every person who marries into the family must meet all its members—yes, even the infants still drooling on bibs.So, today was that day.The grand ceremonial hall had been opened, the kind of space that looked like it belonged in a history book. Three rows of impossibly long tables stretched from one end to the other, each able to sit a hundred people. Two rows were already fully occupied, and the last was nearly full. My jaw almost dropped when I realized just how many Wests existed in one room.Two hundred and five. That was the number Silver said the last time. However, she didn't add that the number excluded sons and daughter-in-laws, the babies born after that day, and those who died over the years. I stared at the sea of faces, feeling my pulse climb. “Wow,” I gasped. “This is more than I expected.”Detroit, as usual, stood beside me with his hands tucked neatly in his pockets, looking like he owned the air itself. “Mm,” h

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Bed Time Story

    Adele~Who would have thought that after everything, we could still go through the rest of the wedding like nothing happened?The reception was epic. I wore the dress Emily got me for the first half, and the one I chose – under Detroit’s unshakable command – for the rest of the night.The thing I hated about events like this, was how much people wanted to connect. Heavens, it was exhausting! Even with Detroit holding my hand and dragging me everywhere, people still wanted to peel me away from him, especially madams and heiresses. Royals, politicians, heirs and whatnots lined up like dominoes waiting to fall, each one with their polished smiles and perfumed words. Apparently, marrying Detroit also meant marrying into an endless parade of handshakes and empty compliments.I tried. I really did. I smiled until my cheeks ached, nodded until my neck stiffened, and laughed at jokes that weren’t even remotely funny. But every so often, I caught Detroit watching me out of the corner of his e

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Ryan's Hidden Card

    Ryan~“Enough!” His roar rattled the living room walls. Julia flinched, her words dying in her throat.Ryan could feel his pulse thundering in his ears, every nerve in his body screaming to release the tension curling around his bones. So, he paced. He paced like a caged animal, his fists clenching and unclenching. His mind was a storm, replaying Adele’s face, Adele’s voice, Adele’s smile. He couldn't let her go. No, especially not now that she had the world under her feet. Certainly not now that his own empire was crumbling. He needed her – her name, her money, her heart, their child… he needed them. And then it hit him.Ryan stopped dead in his tracks, his chest rising and falling, eyes widening as the realization crashed into him like lightning.“I didn’t divorce her yet…” he whispered, lips curving into something dangerous. Julia blinked, confused. “What do you mean? Your divorce was finalized.” He lifted his head, meeting her stunned gaze, and repeated louder, firmer, “I did
